A chemical peel is a medical-grade skin resurfacing procedure that uses a specialized acid-based solution to remove damaged outer layers of skin. This controlled exfoliation process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating cellular regeneration to reveal smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
If you feel that sun damage, dull texture, or fine lines are masking your true vitality, a chemical peel can be the key to restoration. At DRC360, we view this treatment not as a simple peel, but as a powerful tool to reset your skin’s health, helping you look as healthy and vibrant as you feel.

Your Chemical Peel Experience at DRC360
Our process is centered on your unique biochemistry and aesthetic goals, ensuring a treatment that is both safe and effective for you. We treat the person first, then the patient.
- The Consultation: Listening First.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. We go beyond just looking at your skin; we listen to your concerns, review your health history, and discuss your goals. This allows us to understand your skin’s unique needs and select the precise type and strength of peel (from superficial “lunchtime” peels to medium-depth peels) that will help you achieve your ideal self. - The Procedure: Precision and Care.
During the treatment, your comfort and safety are our highest priorities. Our skilled medical team—who are known for their precision and gentle touch—will cleanse your skin and meticulously apply the chemical solution. We monitor your skin’s response in real-time to ensure the peel achieves the optimal, controlled depth for effective regeneration in a nurturing, welcoming environment. - The Follow-Up: Ensuring Wholeness.
Achieving “wholeness” means supporting you through the entire process. After your peel, we provide detailed post-treatment instructions to care for your skin as it heals and regenerates. We are available for exceptional follow-up care to answer any questions and ensure your results are beautiful, healthy, and lasting.
Our Guiding Philosophy for Chemical Peels
At DRC360, our approach to chemical peels is guided by Dr. Cavazos’s extensive 37-year medical background and his specialization in anti-aging and regenerative medicine. We don’t see a peel as a simple cosmetic procedure; we view it as a powerful, non-invasive tool for biochemical regeneration. Our philosophy combines allopathic and alternative therapies to treat the complete person.
This “Philosophy in Practice” means we first analyze the reason for the skin concern, whether it’s hormonal change, environmental damage, or the natural aging process. Dr. C’s foundation in Biochemistry informs our selection of specific peel formulations, matching them to your skin’s precise needs. The goal is not just to exfoliate the surface but to stimulate a profound healing response, encouraging new collagen and revealing the foundational health and vitality of the skin beneath.
What to Expect: Your Results Timeline
- Immediately After Treatment: Your skin will likely feel tight and may appear pink or reddish, similar to a mild sunburn.
- Days 2-7 (The Renewal Phase): This is when the exfoliation process begins. Depending on the depth of your peel, you may experience light flaking or significant peeling. This is a normal and essential part of the skin’s regeneration.
- One Week Post-Treatment: Once the peeling is complete, you will begin to see the first signs of your results: noticeably smoother, brighter, and more evenly-toned skin.
- One to Three Months (Final Results): Your skin’s appearance will continue to improve as new collagen is produced. For optimal results, particularly for concerns like acne or deep pigmentation, a series of treatments is often recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions about Chemical Peels
How Much Does a Chemical Peel Cost?
The cost of a chemical peel varies significantly based on the type, strength, and depth of the peel required to meet your specific goals. A light, superficial peel will have a different cost than a more intensive, medium-depth peel. During your comprehensive consultation, we will assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan that outlines the recommended approach and associated costs.
Is a Chemical Peel Painful?
Patients typically do not describe chemical peels as painful. Most experience a mild to moderate stinging, tingling, or warm sensation while the peel solution is active on the skin, which lasts for only a few minutes. We prioritize your comfort in our nurturing environment and take every step to ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible.
How Does a Chemical Peel Compare to Microneedling?
Both are excellent resurfacing treatments, but they work differently. A chemical peel is a form of chemical exfoliation that excels at treating superficial concerns like pigmentation, sun damage, dull texture, and acne. Microneedling, which we also offer, is a mechanical treatment that uses fine needles to create micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production at a deeper level. It is often preferred for advanced textural issues like deep acne scars and pronounced wrinkles. We can determine which is best for you, or even combine therapies, during your consultation.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
This depends entirely on your goals and the condition being treated. A single light peel can provide a beautiful “glow-up” and refresh the skin. However, to correct more persistent issues like stubborn pigmentation, acne, or fine lines, a series of 3-6 peels, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is typically recommended to achieve profound, cumulative, and lasting results.
You deserve to feel confident in your skin. At DRC360, we have created a nurturing, welcoming environment where your health challenges are explored through careful consultation. We treat patients of all ages and pride ourselves on a relaxed atmosphere where you will never feel rushed. Let us help you reveal your most vibrant self.
